Tender lymph node?

[Corin850]

For four days so far the right side of my neck next to my throat but not in it has hurt. When I swallow or laugh or move in a certain way.

I'm seeing doctor in six days time but in the mean time any ideas? It's not apparently swollen and a ct scan four weeks ago suggested no swellings.

ive been experiencing some of the same symptoms on the right side of my neck right under my jaw has been feeling some pressure / swelling feeling. but when I feel around it feels no different than the left side ,

Sounds very similar. Might be a slight nasal infection making the lymph node tender.
